Simple Dinner
Sometimes simple dinners are the best.
I was pretty busy at work this afternoon and didn’t realize I was hungry until 4:00, which is a little later then my normal afternoon snack time. I had packed a rather large snack of Peach Chobani and Oatmeal Quaker Squares.
The snack was perfect and left me pretty full. So full in fact that I did not have my normal large appetite for dinner. I stood in front of the fridge for a good 10 minutes trying to decide what to eat, but all I wanted was something simple and easy, so I grabbed a few fresh items and got to work.
I steamed some fresh Broccoli and Carrots and covered them with pasta sauce.
I know it sounds strange but I LOVE pasta sauce on top of steamed veggies. Yum!
I had inspiration from Sarah for this wrap.
The ‘Crack’ wrap contained WildWood Indian Spice Hummus, Swiss Cheese & Jalapenos. Very gooey and yummy!
Like I said simple always makes the best dinner and this is exactly what I needed.
For dessert I had the last two mini tarts Derek had brought me from Greenwise.
Derek knows me very well showing up at my door on Friday with Mini Tarts and half a Pretzel. Food is so much better then flowers. 
Now I’m officially all packed and ready to go!
I tried really hard to pack as light as possible. I limited the number of pants I packed, am only bringing two pairs of shoes and one purse. Honestly the thing that took up the most room in the suitcase was my running gear. LOL
I also made sure to pack a lot of healthy snacks.
In the bags are premixes of cereal and I put little notes in with what is in each bag for blogging purposes.
I think that’s it. I’m staying at Caitlin’s tonight as she lives minutes form the airport and has kindly offered to drop me off for my early flight. Thanks Caitlin!!!
Stay tuned for tomorrow morning’s post, I have a little surprise up my sleeves for you all while I am flying across the country. 
Vegetables smothered in pasta sauce = comfort food for me.
SAFE TRAVELS TOMORROW!!!!!!!
Happy travels, Meghann!
Travel safely!
I went on my first business trip last month and honestly, most of what I packed was fitness/nutrition related haha! I packed 2 of my Jillian DVDs and 5 lb weights! Needless to say, my bag was pretty heavy! It was worth it, though!
I agreed, simple dinners are nice
I had a similar wrap for lunch (jalapeno hummus and mozzarella soy cheese) and it was so good and filling! Have a safe trip tomorrow!
Ohhhh can’t wait! Have a safe flight!!!

I totally feel for you on running gear taking up the most space in the suitcase.

Have a safe flight, Meghann! It was absolutely scorching in San Diego today (I was in La Jolla and it was 96 degrees), but I hear that it should start to cool down tomorrow. I can’t wait to see more photos!
MMMMM look at all those snacks! Hope your travels go smoothly
Nice! Did you find any cool running routes near your hotel? It’s always fun to run somewhere new and explore!
pasta sauce over broc is one of my favs

I know you haven’t been a fan of the justin’s nut butters in the past, but I think the maple almond is by far the best. I think you’ll enjoy it…can’t wait to hear your review!
Bon voyage!
Have a safe trip and good luck!
I love Oatmeal Quaker Squares. And you just
gave me such a craving for them!
Those little tarts looks so good-and adorable.
Isn’t Vera luggage the best? So durable. I adoreeee it!
Have a fun (and safe) plane ride.
Ohh…and enjoy your slumber party.
You’re not the only one…I love pasta sauce on veggies!

I was hoping you’d post your healthy snack stash. I’m going to a conference at the end of this week and I’m a little nervous about the food situation but I haven’t had time to shop yet so I needed some inspiration. Thanks!
Yeah it’s supposed to not be so deathly hot in So Cal starting tomorrow so you’ll be fine…just lovely CA weather. Welcome
That is such a good idea about the pasta sauce on steamed veggies- I’m going to try that for sure
totally have the same vera bradley pattern as you
those totes are a life saver!
